Simon Damrow does not like the fancy clothes.

"No! Not cute!" he says.

But the 2 1/2-year-old from Omaha humored his mother this Valentine's season and wore the junior-sized tuxedo anyway.

His photo is the winner in our Valentine's Day photo contest. He is the son of Traci and Scott Damrow.

Simon was an almost ringbearer in the wedding of Traci's sister last year - he took one step down the aisle and then threw the rose down, his mom said.

But the tux still fit and since Simon's grandparents like the reality TV show "The Bachelor," Traci knew the photo opp had to happen.

She used the picture to make Valentine's Day cards for Simon's grandparents.

They loved them.

The Damrows won a gift certificate to Regency Court for their photo.
